Sometimes when im riding, i can kind of tell when a driver is about to pull out.. like it just edges forward really slow. Then, i just flick the starter a few times and that blinks my headlights... then the car jolts to a stop. Ive also been lucky until now...
@artlkn That's correct! Not only do you want to get as far away from the idiot driver as possible, but you want to emphasizes your anger and frustration at them while speed off.
The problem here....and I have a Zx6R so don't go crazy on me....but at night most driver typically look for a headlight pair. Its instinct to look for it unconsciously. And what happens is that you don't notice a bike with its single headlight, especially in a dark corner of a street. I blame the lady, but I kinda know what she must have been looking for. That's not an excuse...just saying.
Exact shit happened to me about 6months ago. Except it was about 3pm and the driver was DRUNK! I was doing about 40mph and the guy pulls out in front of me just like the video and stops(There was a center divider)! I turned and braked to avoid a head on collision.My back end hit his suv and I flipped over my bars. Very lucky to be a live.5 months of chiropractic sessions later and my new helmet should be in tomorrow. Drivers like him need there Licenses revoked! Please look out for Motorcycles!
This happened to me about 2 weeks ago during the day, god damn was I fucking shaking, I was about 2 inches from hitting her mini van, and she was on the phone, she stopped in the middle, put down her phone and looked at me frightened for like 10 seconds as I was swearing lol.
damn fella you were lucky that she didnt hit you. I know fools in car's here in the UK do the exact same thing to me its damn well irritating. I think car drivers need to do some sort of awrness course to be honest. What bike are you riding mate???. I know its some sort of inline-4-dohc-16 valve sports bike. Im thinking gsxR
I would of been pissed if that was me, i wouldnt let that driver off that easy. Good thing the rider have a camera set up too if anything were to happen which nothing did thank god.
Yeah, i agree. I would like to say that id jump off my bike and kick off the mirrors but when i happened to me, i didnt crash, i just chilled out and waitd for them to move. That day i was in a good mood but i think i couldnt be bothered with the rage.
I do like to think one day id pan someones ass for doing it... but it will prob never happen lol ... i just enjoy the riding.
No offense to you my friend and fellow motorcyclist, but thats why I don't ride at night. Glad you came out of this alright though! People just don't have any respect for us and don't care if they smash into us and hurt us, because their excuse will be "oh I'm sorry officer, I didn't see him." Ride safe.
Good you had plenty of time, I had one at night but I was rite up to the car and and just missed its back bumper, slammed the brakes on, the bike stalled but I thought I was going over the car, its all fun hey
Something similar happened to me a few days ago. The driver just pulled in front of me and stopped! I braked at 1st but realized I was going to smash into him. At the last minute, I saw an opportunity to swerve around him and I barely swerved clear of the rear bumper. I fishtailed afterward a bit but was able to recover. I've had a few close encounters, but that was the 1st one where I was thinking, "hmm, how much is this going to hurt?" as it was happening.
"Oh no, I pulled out in front of a motorcycle and now it's about to crash into me...guess I'll slam on brakes and stop directly in its path." Fucking idiot drivers. Obviously a woman.
They freeze like rabbits in the spotlight don't they, I thought she'd reverse and she did, prolly on the mobile phone, gotta watch out for 'em. they just freeze, in front a ya, stupid. That car deserves a good , oh well better not say
I can't tell you how many of these I've had over the years. Great anticipation on your part. Send this vid to MSF so all the newbs can learn how to save their own lives!
hehe, sounded like Cleveland.

Wow nice save man.
If you were in a car you probably would have crashed into her.
You barely stopped on your bike lol. Yet another example of why bikes avoid accidents better than cars.
That grandma looked scared lol.
